History

The Midas Armor was called, along with the rest of the Iron Legion, to help Tony Stark and James Rhodes during their fight against Aldrich Killian and his Extremis Soldiers. During the course of the fight a number of armors were destroyed, though they eventually managed to eliminate all of the Extremis Soldiers. At the end of the battle the remaining suits that were not destroyed by Extremis Soldiers were destroyed when Stark activated the Clean Slate Protocol, including the Mark XXI. [1]

Capabilities

Like the Mark XIX, the Mark XXI can fly at supersonic speeds. It has the potential to make a sonic boom, but might fall apart if attempted. This is why Stark made the Mark XL, which can go at hyper-velocity speeds without falling apart.

Trivia

This suit's name is a reference to a popular character in Greek mythology called King Midas for his ability to turn everything he touched with his hand into gold.
